Ehn

Yesterday I finalized three of the job descriptions and sent them off, found a bug in the archiving behavior of the new survey data codebase, diagnosed a spurious syntax error being generated by the deployment system (don’t use a python 2 syntax checker if your system actually runs python 3), sent out demo API links for feedback, scheduled the data versioning transition for today and notified the mailing list, met with Engineering, went to the vis meeting, added a bunch of workflow refinements to the GitHub repository for the front end, and curated a bunch of stuff for our issue tracker.

Baked the nut and seed bars off before breakfast.

In the morning, a second set of HVAC people came to look at the house for a quote; they seem to understand our aesthetic values in maintaining the transoms, and also cared more about air returns than anybody else. We’ll have a quote from them next week. P was a star and handled the whole thing.

After that, P had a rough day; he’s been rearranging the study in prep for a new work desk/bench which finally arrived. There were a lot of loud thunks and Ow! and Ahfuck. sounds, and a few object casualties, though thankfully no major personal injuries before he decided to call it a day and try again tomorrow.

Dinner, crossword, then I tried the first episode of 100 Humans but it’s a little too reality tv and not enough Ali Ward. Attempted to schedule a CO2 exchange, but they’re having supply chain problems.

Snack, sleep. Dreamt of home construction including a truly kick ass central atrium with stairs going up to a roof deck. Dropping small toys from big heights. Conversations with my old mentor L. Advising tween girls interested in tech. Popcorn sequins.

The AC is back on.
